"I find it funny "

I am sure you did not mean it that way. I don't find any of this the least bit funny and I am sure neither do you. I really wish I could just go back to 9/10 and take a different universe. Do you think any good is going to come of this, I just heard George W. say some would. It has maybe opened some Americans hearts as to the horrible crap that has been going on in the world. I do have some sympathy for the innocents who did and will lose their lives. The silent scream is almost unbearable. Did you really see first hand peoples hands being cut off?

Many of us have not seen death up close. I saw a funeral pyre in Benares. Certainly gives one pause. I know my little ego could not bear the horror many have seen. I have an inkling of how difficult it is for the spouses, firemen, etc of NYC and the people of Iraq and Afghanistan to to carry on with everyday life.

We have had it so good for so long. I used to ask my uncle what the Korean war was like. He refused to discuss it. Now I know why.
